What EF1 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF1 is moderate damage: roofs badly stripped, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, windows broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 86–110 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A brief tornado occurred north of Stringer along County Road 17. This tornado caused some damage to a small outbuilding removing the roof and compromising the structure. The more notable damage was done to several uprooted and snapped trees. This was enough to get this storm rated a low end EF-1 with winds of 90 MPH.
